Actress Christina Ricci has criticized Jimmy Fallon for featuring mixed martial artist Conor McGregor on his late-night show. In 2024, McGregor was found liable for sexual assault at a Dublin party and was ordered to pay the victim 250,000 euros. Ricci, known for her roles in “The Addams Family” and “Monster,” shared a post on Instagram expressing her disapproval of McGregor’s appearance on Fallon’s show.
The post highlighted the severity of the assault, including details of the victim’s injuries. McGregor, a former UFC champion, is set to make a comeback in a fight against Max Holloway on July 11. Despite his past actions, McGregor has faced allegations of assault and misconduct. Representatives for Ricci and Fallon have not yet responded to requests for comment.
In a recent interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” McGregor discussed his upcoming fight and his passion for fighting but did not address his past controversies. McGregor’s return to the octagon has sparked outrage among viewers, with many expressing their disapproval in comments online. McGregor, who once held multiple UFC titles, has also faced allegations of assault at a Miami Heat basketball game in 2023.
Despite McGregor’s controversial past, including his announcement to run for the presidency of Ireland in 2025, he remains focused on his fighting career. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 911 or seek support from local crisis lines and services provided by the Ending Sexual Violence Association of Canada.
